New Zealand v England: Alastair Cook rejects complacency claim

England captain Alastair Cook rejected claims his side took New Zealand for granted during the three-Test series that reached a thrilling climax in Auckland on Tuesday. 
It is the fourth time in less than four years that England have hung on for a draw with nine second-innings wickets down, following the Tests against Australia at Cardiff in 2009 and South Africa twice in a series, at Centurion and Cape Town, in 2010. 
Matt Prior hit 110 not out as England held on to force a draw with one wicket remaining and draw the series.
"We weren't complacent," Cook told BBC Sport.
"We didn't play as well as we could do and you get found out very quickly in international cricket."
"We gave it every chance to force a result but came up against a defiant England team who were hell-bent on ensuring they did not lose a Test for their country - and unfortunately we weren't able to get that one more wicket.
"I'll make sure I go round all the lads. I'm incredibly proud of the way they've performed in this series and confronted one of the giants of world cricket."
